B2B Telemarketing Services-Why You Need Them


Telemarketing is marketing accomplished via telephone. Often times, organizations utilize telemarketers to perform this task on behalf of the organization and can greatly benefit one’s business.

These services generally fall into two categories: business-to-business and business-to-consumer. Within these two categories are a variety of sub-categories, or services, which telemarketing companies can provide to their client. Services include lead generation, which is the gathering of pertinent information including the names, telephone numbers, email addresses, and physical addresses of targeted individuals as well as what time of day is best to contact that person; sales, which is the persuasion of the person to use your product or service; outbound, which is proactive marketing involving contacting both preexisting and potential consumers of your product or service; and, inbound, which is reactive reception of incoming inquiries.

When choosing a telemarketing company to outsource one must balance budget vs. quality of product. Some B2B telemarketers offer features that others dont, so careful analysis must be made. You must make sure you actually get the telemarketing agency you want and not simply another outsourcing agency that sends your work to other telemarketers in the industry.

Determine what services your business needs, whether it be both inbound and outbound services or just one of these.  Be sure you consider the quality and professionalism of the reps that answer the calls. You especially want to pay attention to this if you work with large businesses or government agencies. Call quality can be crucial in these instances.

If sales is your ultimate goal then you want to choose a telemarketing lead generation company that can create lead genration for your business. We at Beanstalk marketing are renown for our B2B appointment setting.

Cost is also an issue you need to deal with when you consider purchasing a telemarketing contract. But you should always compare similar service to the cost. But when choosing you telemarketing service you must consider above all else call quality—and this may come at a slightly higher price than other services.
